For over 60 years, CLS members have been "Seeking Justice with the Love of God" through four primary ministries: Attorney Ministries CLS attorney chapters throughout the country provide legal professionals with a wide range of opportunities. These include Christian fellowship and spiritual development, discipleship, law student mentoring, contributions to The Christian Lawyer magazine, legal referrals, and volunteer legal service on behalf of the poor and needy. Law Student Ministries CLS helps students in law schools across the country integrate their Christian faith with the study and eventual practice of law. Our Law Student Ministries include Bible studies, one-on-one mentoring, student-focused conferences, and faith-based curriculum services to law schools. Christian Legal Aid CLS trains, coordinates, networks and assists lawyers, churches, and laypeople to engage in Christian legal aid in their communities, helping the disadvantaged untangle legal issues, seek Christian guidance for personal problems, and understand their rights under the law.
